\nAsk users what they want? No, we have to understand the needs of various stakeholders and users, and cater for those needs when developing new solutions. These needs are often unknown to the users and to the experts developing the systems, as well as to the designers involved. Continue reading.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nFollowing a highly anticipated judgement from the Court of Justice of the European Union (C-526\/19, Entoma SAS vs. Ministre de l\u2019\u00c9conomie et des Finances and Ministre de l\u2019Agriculture et de l\u2019Alimentation), whole insects can now be sold as food on the Swedish market during a transition period. This article describes the background to the judgement, as well as its implications for the insect-based food industry in Sweden. Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
\nClosed innovation projects seem to be a thing of the past, with collaboration the new normal. For collaborations to reach their full potential, certain levels of openness need to be applied not only in day-to-day cooperation but also to intellectual property (IP) and trade secrets. How should companies combine open collaboration with appropriate protection of their strategic intellectual assets? This article proposes a methodical approach to each step of IP sharing in innovation collaboration. Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\nIt is safe to say that the GDPR has had a significant impact on both EU companies and EU citizens. For many citizens in the EU, the GDPR is a welcome initiative underlining the importance of protecting citizens in relation to the processing of their personal data. On the other hand, the GDPR has forced EU companies to design, or redesign, their business models with a privacy-centred mindset.\u00a0Continue reading.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe European Union (EU) uses a system of tariff rate quotas for the import of agricultural products from countries outside the EU. A tariff rate quota allows for a predetermined quantity of certain products to be imported at lower import duty rates than the normal duty rate for a particular type of product. To import at the reduced tariff rate, an importer must apply for allocations within the tariff rate quotas. The EU has now issued new rules for the application for allocations within tariff rate quotas.\u00a0Continue reading.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
